Introduced by Dick Durbin of Illinois, the bill has moved through the usual phases of amalgamation and deal-making. The monstrosity advancing to the floor on Wednesday is not so much "food safety" as it is the decadence of the rights of small farmers, hobbyist food producers, garden-variety farmers markets, and your average small producer of foodstuffs. Under the rubric of safety, this Senate proposes a bill that establishes such new and sweeping powers over how you and I produce and consume foodstuffs that even the Pew Charitable Trusts are calling S510 a clear and present danger.

The only bills I want to see coming from Congress are ones depleting the federal government of power and funds, no more money for those dweebs, no more oversight in any realm of life, no more income taxes, NO FRIGGIN MORE ANYTHING FROM THEM BUT GET OUT OF OUR FACES!!!! TIME TO FRIGGIN SCREAM>>
It's not the Federal Government, it's the Feral Government.
It's up to the people of this country to vote these rogues out of office and get our country back on track.
The elites would love to get control of the food supply as a way of subduing a rebelious population.
My ‘bitter clinger’ cousin Eddie used to eat squirrel but gave it up due to high cholesterol. I guess he’ll be back to hunting the rodent if food production becomes too controlled.
The Chinese did, indeed, EXECUTE those responsible...
Chinese protein adulteration refers to the adulteration and contamination of several food and feed ingredients with inexpensive melamine and other compounds such as cyanuric acid, ammeline and ammelide.
These adulterants can be used to inflate the apparent protein content of products, so that inexpensive ingredients can pass for more expensive, concentrated proteins.[1] Melamine by itself has not been thought to be very toxic to animals or humans except possibly in very high concentrations, but the combination of melamine and cyanuric acid has been implicated in kidney failure. Reports that cyanuric acid may be an independently and potentially widely-used adulterant in China have heightened concerns for both animal and human health.[2]
“They used to grow food in Kansas
Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw
I can see the day coming when even your home garden
Is gonna be against the law”
Bob Dylan, Union Sundown, 1983
This was one of the steps Stalin took to gain control over food production and distribution in the old Soviet Union. It resulted in 10’s of million deaths from the ensuing famines and then pogroms resulting from the unrest. These so-called GOP senators should be dragged out and publicly humiliated and denounced by the rest of the GOP.

SB 510 - The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010
Sen. Richard Durbin [D-IL]
Cosponsors:
Lamar Alexander [R-TN]
Jeff Bingaman [D-NM]
Richard Burr [R-NC]
Roland Burris [D-IL]
Saxby Chambliss [R-GA]
Christopher Dodd [D-CT]

Judd Gregg [R-NH]
Thomas Harkin [D-IA]
Orrin Hatch [R-UT]

Just the usual suspects.
Not surprised by our RINOs Chambliss and Isakson. The Agriculture lobby is strong in GA. I’ve heard Chambliss speak in person about Ag in GA. He sounds just like a Dem. You wouldn’t know he has a R after his name if you could listen to him without knowing who he is.
Crap sandwiches will be heavily regulated under S510.
FWIW, melt the phone lines...especially the (R)ino's...
Alexander [R-TN], Burr [R-NC], Chambliss [R-GA], Enzi [R-WY], Gregg [R-NH], Hatch [R-UT] and Isakson [R-GA]
Senate switchboard: 202-224-3121
Any of these clowns up for re-election in '12?
Is this one for your list?
0bastard has to be freaking stopped.
If my two GOP Senators from GA are supporting this bill it must contain some candy for the large corporate agricultural interests in the state and not any small individual dirt farmers.
‘Is this one for your list?’
-If/When we can tie this to Obamsky, then it will indeed be posted to the list. Watching this one closely...
Hatch (UT) is up in ‘12...RINO hunt alert.
Necessary regulation per Agenda 21.
